Is this Chanca piedra our quebra pedra?

I wonder

If it is a kind of weed that is good for t

he kidneis and urinary system,I've got it.

Plenty, and never use it (I live in a spa town

with miraculous waters, therefore, no kidney problems).

If I can be of any help let me know.

 

Yes, same plant!

Lucky you! Not only is it great for the

urinary system, it is also a great liver

herb, with strong anti-viral qualities.

 

The names literally mean " stone breaker " .

 

Richters mentioned that it was weedy in the

tropics, but that is not likely to be a problem

in temperate zones. I might try to grow some

next year, just for the H of it, but I really

don't believe a plant out of its native habitat

has the same vital qualities.

 

Thanks for the offer, but too much hassle.

I'll just keep enjoying it as part of the tea

I get through one of my " evil mlm " companies.
